Built for Ford F-150 2WD owners who want a level stance and room for bigger tires without sacrificing ride quality, this 3-inch leveling kit brings your truck's front end up to match the rear for a balanced, aggressive look. It accommodates up to 32-inch tires and pairs lifted spindles with 2-inch rear lift blocks to deliver the ground clearance and appearance you're after — all with Rough Country's proven N3 shocks engineered for stable, comfortable handling on road and trail.

Installed and serviced at Road Runner Wheels & Tires. Most leveling kits go in the same day. Call (678) 400-6467 to schedule.

What's included

  • Lifted Spindles (Front) — Raise your front axle's centerline to level the truck's stance with the rear.
  • 2" Lift Blocks (Rear) — Complement the front spindles and help maintain proper suspension geometry.
  • N3 Shock Pair (qty 2) — Premium dampers that deliver enhanced ride quality, superior damping, and increased stability for all-terrain comfort and performance.
  • U-Bolts & Hardware — Grade fasteners engineered to secure lift blocks safely to the rear axle.
  • Installation Kit — Complete bracket and fastener package ready for bolt-on installation.

Important notes

  • This kit does NOT fit models equipped with the Heavy Duty Payload Package (seven-lug models). Verify your F-150's lug count before purchase.
  • Maximum tire clearance is 32 inches; tires larger than this may rub at full suspension compression or while turning.

Why customers pick this at Road Runner

  • 100% bolt-on design — no cutting, drilling, or welding required, and most installations finish in a single day.
  • Rough Country's Limited Lifetime Replacement Guarantee backed by in-house service and support.
  • Professional installation by technicians who perform these kits every week — alignment checked and corrected as part of the install.
  • Paired with N3 shocks that hold their performance under load and abuse, not budget economy units.
